Ruby Quest Collection

In the misty past of Decmber 2008, on /tg/, a drawfriend named "Weaver" offered to run an adventure
RPG. All of Anonymous could make suggestions on what action to take next,
and he would draw the results. It's true he cherry-picked the answers,
but it's also true that the momentum of the mob derailed his anticipated
plot, which changed the climax and denoument that the author expected
to have.

The main character's name is quickly established to be Ruby
and the story in it's entirety was called Ruby Quest. It was so
successful that it spawned a new genre of collaborative storytelling.
It inspired plenty of crap, and many drawfriend wanna-bes forcing attempts at
being the next big thing, but some cream has risen to the top to become Dorf
Quest ("dwarf quest"), Maid
Quest. (update: Ruby Quest makes a reference to Andrew Hussie's Problem Sleuth, so
maybe that and Hussie's Jailbreak are the progenitors of this genre.)

Below are some flash cartoons that tell the Ruby Quest story, made by
TekStation, collecting the
story from the multiple forum threads where they appear, with some of the
shout-outs from the crowd suggestions.

The author, Weaver, has a Patreon where you can be a sponsor, and a blog on tumblr. Weaver has completed another story named Nan Quest that is no less epic.

RubyQuest: Part NEIN Shennanigans with not-Tom. Weaver & readers blowing off steam. Spoilers so read this last if at all.
